Pro-UK Designs based on our "Great Britain! Be Part of It" Theme
Tweet
On this page we gather together, and showcase, the Graphics which are designed regularly by A Force For Good under our "Great Britain! Be Part of It" theme.
There are so many wonderful aspects of Great Britain which we seldom think about and which we take for granted every day, but which we would miss terribly if the UK were to break up and if these things started to become foreign to ourselves. We've decided to bring some of these elements together into a regular series of attractive graphics.
They include reminders of our history, our art, our culture, our film, our music, our sport, our quirkiness, our Flag, our fashion, our industry, our British Overseas Territories, the Commonwealth and the Commonwealth Realms, our landscapes, our Armed Forces, our Great Cities, our entertainment, our constitution, our Royal Family, and more; often things which are taken for granted and which are forgotten about when we consider our future together with the rest of our family on these Islands.
They are presented here for download, so please send them out over Facebook and Twitter, and if you can direct people to this page then that would be appreciated (just copy and paste the url of this page in your posting). Finally, let us just say that when we use the term "Great Britain", we use it as shorthand for "the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland."
"Great Britain! Be Part of It!" Enjoy!
